Matthew Smith would be fresh out of college and beginning his career now, if
he hadn’t died as a 14-year-old boy from “long term use of methylphenidate”
(Ritalin) as stated on his death certificate. Matthew’s parents had never wanted
him to take Ritalin. When Matthew was only 7 years old, school officials told
his parents that Matthew had ADHD. The school threatened that if Matthew, a
healthy active boy, was not put on Ritalin, they would contact Social Service
Child Protective Services. School authorities claimed his parents could be
charged with neglecting Matthew’s educational and emotional needs. His parents
did not want Matthew on drugs and saw nothing abnormal about his behavior. But
they felt helpless to the school’s authority. Matthew’s parents did what
millions of parents in the U.S. have done. They complied under duress. Now their
beautiful, creative son is dead. The monster won. For seven years, Matthew’s
parents paid the monster to poison their child. Now they can’t pay anyone to
bring him back. HOW THE PHARMACEUTICAL

Stephanie Hall would be a young woman now, maybe a mother, if she hadn’t died
in her sleep from a massive cardiac arrest six days before her twelfth birthday.
She had been in first grade less than one month when her teacher told
Stephanie’s mom she thought the little girl had Attention Deficit Disorder
(ADD). Stephanie’s concerned parents took the perfectly healthy child to a
physician and everything was found to be normal. But because the teacher had
already labeled the child with ADD, the physician wrote a prescription for
Ritalin. Poor Stephanie was too young to make her parents understand how ill the
drug made her feel. It began with headaches and over the years led to
hallucinations. Her heart disease was a silent side effect of the drug. Her
parents paid the monster for six years to poison and terrorize their daughter.
Even when Stephanie began to suffer hallucinations from the mind-altering drug,
the answer was always to increase the dosage. No one considered the drug as the
cause of Stephanie’s problems. Now Stephanie has no problems and her parents
live with the loss. HOW THE

Salbutamol "In the 1960s, an increase
in asthma deaths in Britain coincided with the increase in sales of isoprenaline
inhalers. The circumstantial evidence implicated the high-strength isoprenaline
(known as isoprenaline-forte) used in the inhalers. There was also evidence that
some patients had used it more frequently despite worsening asthma, although the
exact cause of the deaths remains unknown."

Raptiva deaths have been reported by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency, the FDA's
